From Porn to Purity

Chastity

So I came across this site when I was looking for the Dawson McAllister information to post. Its encouraging to see that there are religious associations that create sites like this. I recognize that this issue is not seen as a problem to a lot of people, especially those who are not religious at all, but it has to affect you in some way. I mean, when we all were younger in grade school, we recognized what was wrong by our teachers punishing us for saying or doing inappropriate things. Other times we might get away with it but still feel that we did something wrong. So what is influenced from the outside and what from the inside? Sometimes your conscious goes away if you have done things like this for so long. To me, it doesn't have to be a religious thing (though that strongly comes in to play) so much as it can be a logical thing. One of the arguments on the porn to purity site is that if you have some dark secret you are hiding, it can lower your self esteem or ability to communicate well with others. Especially if you keep it from your spouse right? How does it make them feel if you go somewhere else for pleasure? Another thing to me is, if you give in to your lusts so easily, you are de-evolving yourself. All the animals in the animal kingdom have to reproduce too, but you have the mind and conscious to stop yourself. Why would you do that? Such a waste of a brain. Self mastery says it can be accomplished. If you are like me and you like kung fu movies, you see the monks do it ALL THE TIME and they are wicked amazing at martial arts and a calm mind because they have focused their mind on other things. Sex is a distraction in our world. I mean really, besides our nature to have those feelings anyways, why do we need other media and things provoking it? I guess my thought of the day is master yourself and you will feel better about yourself.


If you want the religious perspective, I have provided those links, and there are more links on those pages. The LDS perspective is linked under the word "chastity" on the top of the page. And here is a quick video below as well. Enjoy :)
